JP and Nicole arrived yesterday from Geneva, but they stayed in a hotel +in France just over the border, and what are the French known for? Great wines, great cheese, and +terrible taste in cars. Old friends of mine will remember the term _LFKA_, which I will not write +out in full here, to protect childrens' eyes. + +In the morning I started with the prepwork for _Kramiek v2.0_, a flemish raisin bread. Last time it +was a bit dense, so despite Quinn giving it a 10 out of 10, Marina requested it to be a bit more +fluffy this time. Okidoki, chief! Floof, it shall be. I mixed up the dough and gave it a kiss before +sending it on its way in the first rise. + +In the afternoon we went grocery shopping at the Coop. We make a list of, say, ten things we need +to get. We then arrive to _Coop_ (or _Aligro_), and about 20 minutes later, we have a cart full of +stuff, and zero things crossed off the list. Not sure if I'm the only one this happens to? Perhaps +it's a clever trick that Big Grocery employs to sustain consumerism? Either way, the gin, wine, +candy, random office supplies, and such will come in handy, at some point. + +On the way back from the _Coop_, we zig-zag through our neighborhood because they've started road +works on the main road, a project that is going to last for several months and costs CHF 8'500Mio +which is rather absurd considering the stretch of road they are fixing is maybe 300m long... but as +a silver lining, the detour shows us a very large muster of maybe fifty or so storks circling +overhead. There's big storks (who deliver babies), and baby storks (who deliver kittens?), and we +think they may be rouding up the phalanx to migrate. It was an impressive sight! A little further +down, I yellowjacketed road worker stopped the car and asked if we need to be in this neighborhood +because, and I quote "the residents have been complaining that there is too much traffic here now". + +Well well well, how the tables have turned. Two cute things come to mind: Firstly, I mentioned this +very exact thing to Marina yesterday, that gosh now that the roads will all be closed, the only +reasonable route is through our neighborhood -- and you would think that perhaps the folks who +organized this whole mayhem would've considered it? But secondly, and this is even more typical +Swiss, the roadworks started, what, three **days** ago, and will be lasting for three **months**, and +the residents are already upset and complaining. And I'm glad to report that I was one of the +complainants, as I mentioned in my first point. Oh geez, Rick, I'm _swissing_!! + +Back home, I go downstairs a bit, and see that @benjojo has posted a new tool he wrote for +[[LONAP](https://lonap.net/)] to do multi-flow round trip time measurement. I immediately see this +tool's usefulness in [[AS8298](https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2021/02/27/ipng-network/)] as well: some +of the underlying circuits are MPLS switched, and the underlying [[AS25091](https://ip-max.net/)] at +times uses ECMP or LACP so that traffic can go over multiple parallel paths. If one of those has +either _packetlo_ or a latency excursion, this can be tricky to find. Ben's solution to this is to +have each node send 16 different UDP streams to each other node, so that underlying network topology +might hash the streams to different physical connection. Works a treat - but I notice that the +`-cfg.path` flag doesn't work, so I send a PR to address it - see +[[ixp-xping](https://github.com/lonap/ixp-xping)] for the tool, and his +[[article](https://blog.benjojo.co.uk/post/ixp-xping-better-ix-monitoring)] for the rationale. I +create an Ansible role for `ixp-xping` and roll it out to all hypervisors at IPng. + +The cheese ritual is starting at 17:30, and my contribution is freshly baked _Kramiek_ and +_Bürli_. The cheese is delectable and we spend a few good hours consuming it, with figs, +mustard, cashew and (unsalted) peanuts, but with salted butter and all of the breads we gathered +along the way. At the end, we seemed to have consumed less than half of the available cheese, which +is good news, because it means we get to go again. While eating, Quinn tries to undo my shoelaces, +successfully I might add, so I re-tie them and make it more difficult each time. But, patience is a +virtue, and he repeatedly undoes them. Good work, Quinn! + +After dinner, we retire to the back yard, and when the sun sets I light our firebowl and so do our +neighbors. We spend the evening outside, patting our stuffed bellies, and switching between chatting +about this-and-that, and nosing into our respective iPhone, Android or iPad. At 22:30, the fire is +mostly done for the evening, and I've finished the _Tintafina_ bottle, so there appears to be +nothing left for me today but to head off to bed. + +## Pictures of the Day + +{{< gallery-category >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-22/IMG_0766.JPG" caption="Ingredients for the Kramiek - butter, milk, raisins, flour, yeast and sugar." >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-22/IMG_0770.JPG" caption="The finished Kramiek - the verdict is that it is tasty but a little bit too fluffy.
